Data replication is an excellent technique to move and cache data close to users. By replication, data access performance can be improved dramatically. One of the challenges in da...
Predominant resources for execution of any application are computational power and memory. On one side, computational power has grown many folds faster than memory capacity. On th...
With increase of clock frequency, on-chip wire inductance starts to play an important role in power/ground distribution analysis, although it has not been considered so far. We pe...
In this paper we describe the evolution of Global File Systems from the concept of a few years ago, to a first demonstration using hardware Fibre Channel frame encoding into IP pa...
One of the main challenges in Grid computing is efficient allocation of resources (CPU-hours, network bandwidth, etc.) to the tasks submitted by users. Due to the lack of centrali...
